About Grace Koval:
Grace is the founder of The Watchdog Foundation. Founded in 2023, The Watchdog Foundation is a 501(3)(c) non-profit whose mission is to help eradicate the stray animal population in Arizona by educating the public and supporting local animal rescues and shelters. Through rescue, we aim to uplift and assist in keeping animals off the streets and into the loving care they deserve.
In this episode, Jim and Grace Koval discuss:
- The powerful personal story that led Grace to animal rescue
- How the notorious Chandler 55 case exposed animal hoarding issues in Arizona
- The critical role of spay and neuter education in reducing stray overpopulation
- The 3-3-3 rule for helping rescue dogs adjust to new homes
- Simple, meaningful ways anyone can support local rescues
Key Takeaways:
- Every rescue story matters. Behind each stray animal is a story of survival, and giving them a second chance changes not just their life, but yours too.
- Spay and neuter programs are essential in breaking the cycle of stray overpopulation, and rescues like Grace’s are working hard to provide no-cost options for communities in need.
- The 3-3-3 Rule is a must-know for new pet owners: 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle into a routine, and 3 months to feel fully safe and at home.
- Supporting animal welfare isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you can’t adopt, foster. If you can’t foster, volunteer. If you can’t volunteer, donate. Every bit counts.
- Mental health matters in rescue work. Grace shares how small daily habits like workouts, meditation, and walks help her stay grounded in such emotionally heavy work.
"I swear, rescue dogs know when they've been saved." – Grace Koval
